The oil we use every day on Calabrian tables.

The one that goes with freshly sliced bread, salads from the garden, homemade preserves and recipes handed down for generations.

Our Classic Extra Virgin Olive Oil comes from the olive groves of Altomonte and nearby villages, in the heart of Calabria – a land where olive growing is a tradition handed down for centuries. The olives are harvested in November and carefully processed to preserve their aromas, characteristics and quality.

The main cultivar is Tondina (90%), a variety typical of the area that gives the oil balance and delicacy. The remaining 10% comes from other local cultivars that complete its aromatic profile and enrich its character.

The olives come from groves farmed with traditional, nature-friendly practices, without invasive chemical treatments. A choice born of love for the land and the wish to preserve an agricultural heritage that's part of who we are.

On tasting it's lightly fruity, with a pleasant, delicate bitterness and a light peppery note – the hallmarks of a true extra virgin olive oil.

Its versatility makes it perfect at any time of day. It's ideal raw on bruschetta, salads, pulses, vegetables and traditional Mediterranean dishes, but it's just as good for cooking, from soffritto to oven-baked dishes and frying.

Every bottle holds the authentic taste of Calabria – the taste of simple things done well. An honest oil that enhances every dish without masking its flavour, bringing the aroma and tradition of our land to your table.

At Braalla we select products that tell a true story. This Classic Extra Virgin Olive Oil is one of them: a story of olive trees, seasonal harvests, families and a passion that has continued for generations.
